RanChing In South America.

In 1885 there were forty-one million
sheep in the United States, seventy
two millions in Australia, and one
hundred millions in Argentine Repub-
lie. We have two-thirds of a sheep to
every inhabitant; in the Argentine Re-
public there are twenty-five sheep, and
in Uruguay forty sheep, to every
man, woman and child. We have
forty millions of horned cattle to
population of sixty millions; the
Argentine Republic and Uruguay have
thirty-eight millions of cattle to a
population of five hundred thousand
souls, there are eight millions of cattle,
twenty millions of sheep, two million
horses, or sixty head of stock for each
man, woman, and child. Fifteen
million dollars has been invested in
wire fences in Uruguay alone, and
more than twice as much in the
Argentine Republic. In either of the
countries COW can be bought for five
dollars, a steer fattened for the market
for ten or twelve dollars, a pair of
oxen for twenty-five dollars, sheep
for fifty or sixty cents, an ordinary
Westinghouse for eight or ten dollars,
anu IoduSIcl lOt twenty nNe, mule
for fifteen dollars, and a mare for
what her hide will bring. Mares are
never broken to saddle or harness, but
are allowed to run wild in the pas
lures for the time they are foaled till
they cease to be of value for breeding,
when they are driven to the salederoS,
or slaughter-houses and killed for their
hides, A man who would use a mare
under the saddle or before a wagon
would be considered of unsound mind.
There is superstition against it.

The Gar of Russia.

The Gar walked up the broad stone
steps, clad in the magnificent trapplngs
of Russian uniform, with the steady
step of man among men used to
command. On his calm, handsome
face there was no sign of fear, no ex-
pectation of trouble; there was not
tremble of either hand or limb, al
though the giant-like Danish guards
man who stood near me trembled from
head to foot with the great fear that
something might chance to happen,
which did not. The Car strobe to
the door of his carriage, and with
courtly but unconscious grace assisted
the Empress to her seat, and tossing a
half-finished cigarette over his Shout
der took his place by her side. and
was driven away to the Russian church
where special service as to be held
for him and his party.
The Princess of Wales and Albert
Victor had gone to the new English

Court of his wife's father, which grow
more and more protracted each year,
are the only breathing spells of any
thing like peace of mind that are
granted to His Imperial Highness; for,
strange to say, the Russian Nihilists
seems to let him alone when on Danish
soil. The constant story which is told
by all newspaper correspondents about
the pallor and the look of anxiety on
the face of the Russian Empress does
not hold good when she is here in her
old home. l have seen her several
times and have not yet detected any
thing of the kind. Her face has more
character, more individuality than the
face of her English sister, the Princess
of Wales. | am told that she is fairly

A Trick of Speech.

Tricks of speech grown into man.
nerisms often betray people into blum
ders absurd enough. One instance of
this comes from a town in Maine.
where dwelt man who qualified his
reply to every question with the word
''handy" twisted into some sort of q
conditional clause. 1t was even as
serted that ne proposed to the lady
who became his wife by declaring he
would like to marry her ''if she could
make it handy" but this very likely is
a fabrication of invidious gossips.
Calling recently at a house of which
the late master was lying unburied in
the parlor, the visitor was asked if he
would like to see the remains of his
old friend.
"Well, yes" he answered, "that is.
I'd like to see them if you've got 'en
round handy. If you haven't, it's no
matter. "-BOstOn Courier.

CATARRH CURE.

whether the Dresden or Darmstadt
Madonna" was Holbein's genuine
masterpiece. The Grand Duke of
Hesse has now allowed his picture to
be cleared of the thick coat of paint
and varnish. Herr Hauaer, the Mum
ich restorer, has been so successful
that there is no doubt as to its genu-
ineness. 1t will be on exhibition
shortly at Dresden, side by side with
the picture which has 50 long been
held to be the original. The colors
are even more brilliant than those of
the Dresden. Madonna"

cargo of coal, shipped Philadelphia crew
and sailed for Savannah; on arrival at
quarantine was stopped and my cargo of
domestic coal o was fumigated @, with
what object | do not know. My vessel
was detained eight days and then
released. This detention, with tie
quarantine fees, extra pilotage,
and towage will amount TO nearly 75c per

collect it in this case, should add it to my
freight rate, should | come here again, and
other vessels in the trade will assuredly do
the same as soon as the facts become known;

Wheaton's Opinion as to the Elgl-
bility of the Location The Property
offered for S75,OOO-T The Hotel
Scheme Abandoned.
Collector Wheaton received letter yes
terday from the Treasury Department asking
his opinion as to the eligibility of the Ogle-
thorpe barracks site for post office, that
property having been offered to the govern
ment by Mr.. D. G.. Purse, of this city,
either as a whole or in part. The PROPOSE
ton is to sell part of it on Bull and
Liberty streets for $4,000, or the whole for
SIS, 600.
The matter was a surprise to some OF the
stockholders interested in the property, who
knew nothing about the proposition. 1t
appears that it was made under a resolution
passed at meeting of the company, when
the directors were authorized to sell
the property, 10 any party who would build
hotel for $4,000. IL was afterward, as
will be remembered, extensively advertised,
about $500 having been expended for that
purpose, but not a single response was
elected, although the advertisement was IN

W est, and also in "A number in the South
In view of the apparent futility of any
effort to secure a hotel number of stock
holders, representing about 800 out of the
700 shares, agreed to offer the property to
the government. There will probably be
considerable opposition. however, to locate
the public building so far away from the
business part of the city.
